It was just a matter of time until I would interview Peter Deadman.
After all- it’s Peter Deadman- the big blue book, the JCM…. This is definitely one of those names you learn to say really fast as of the first year in studying Chinese Medicine. And the name continues to be with us as we [...]

The first ICCM in Israel brought Peter Mole to the promised land.
That was the first time I heard his name, but my mentor told me that if I’m interested in 5 Elements (which I am), I shouldn’t miss Peter’s lecture.
